Let x be the independent variable. We have
This is separable, and the solution is
.
From the initial conitions, C = 0. Now
(with a + sign since v(0) is positive).
This equation is separable, and the general solution is
.
Again using the initial conditions,
.
The solution can be written as
y = 2/(2 x - 1)2. It is defined for
.
